Peripheral Schwannoma Presenting as a Retro-Malleolar Mass: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Schwannomas are rare peripheral nerve tumors that can present with diverse clinical manifestations. They commonly present as solitary, encapsulated masses and can occur in various locations throughout the body. This case report presents a comprehensive analysis of a peripheral schwannoma in a 29-year-old male patient who presented with numbness, pain, and paresthesias on the plantar aspect of the left foot. The symptoms progressively worsened, impacting the patient's daily activities. Physical examination revealed tenderness on the medial aspect of the left foot, along with prolonged episodes of paresthesia and recurrent numbness. Imaging studies confirmed the presence of a retro-malleolar mass, consistent with a peripheral schwannoma. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the mass, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms. This case emphasizes the importance of considering peripheral schwannomas in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with foot symptoms and highlights the effectiveness of surgical excision as a treatment modality for these tumors.
